Women occupy 25% of math-related careers with women of color representing only 4% of the STEM workforce.

WHO ARE WE

Fly Math Club’s mission is to increase girls’ interest and engagement in math by boosting their academic confidence through active learning opportunities using a financial literacy-based curriculum. We envision a world where every girl believes that she is able and capable of becoming a math and financially literate leader.

WHAT WE DO

We believe girls in grades 6th-8th need a supportive and collaborative learning environment where they can build their math confidence. Through our programming, we inspire girls to become academic risk-takers who are leaders, critical thinkers, and problem solvers. We help girls tear down the mental barriers to math success so that it doesn't serve as a gatekeeper to them achieving their goals.

HOW WE DO IT

Our Programs

Fly Math Club creates active learning experiences where girls build their math confidence through financial literacy infused activities-ultimately building the skills necessary for a future as a STEM professional and as a financially literate leader.

CLUB PROGRAMMING

During our nine-week club, members will have the opportunity to improve their financial literacy and math skills. Fly Math Club is a transformational math-based leadership development program that promotes diversity, fosters a growth mindset, and empowers advocacy. The program culminates with the girls being academically and emotionally prepared to showcase their math skills in public during our celebratory challenge day.

SUMMER SUMMITS

During our summer summits, girls come together to collaborate as advocates using leadership, design thinking, and their STEM skills to become leaders of social change. Girls learn how to use creative problem solving to brainstorm ways to make a positive impact by helping others. After the summit, girls will understand how they can use science, technology, engineering, or math skills to serve as a leader for causes they care about most.

Pursuing a math-related career often equates to upward mobility and increased job opportunities because on average STEM workers earn more than non-STEM workers. However, based on research, only 4% of girls of color will pursue a career in STEM. Fly Math Club gives girls access to real-life math education by using financial literacy to educate, empower and encourage our next generation of math and financially literate women leaders. We believe all girls, especially girls of color and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds deserve exposure to the skills necessary to access high-impact careers.
